Bobber 13 – This is what a Bajaj Avenger turned into!

Passion – is what one needs to build a great custom bike from an average donor bike. Bajaj Avenger 220 is a popular bike among youths here who look for a bit of cruiser styling but not a regular choice for a custom project, at least we feel. However we showcase stories here from amateur builders, and believe they definitely inspire others to come up with more builds. Today we have in our bucket is a modified Bajaj Avenger 220, shaped into a mini bobber by one amateur guy Nikhil, in B’lore!

“I am Nikhil..basically from Pune, currently living in Bangalore from past 7 years. From my childhood I was passionate about bikes n cars. From past 2 years I developed taste into bobbers n cafe racer n that is when my dream project of building a customized bobber started.

At that time I was looking into various bikes which I can modify, and finalized Bajaj avenger 220. The reason behind modifying Bajaj Aveger 220 is that everybody was modifying Enfield and I was challenged by 1 of the customizer that you cannot do a good job with avenger 220. I did a lot of research on this bike and I realize that I can utilize the bike very well for my modification.

The first most thing I did was I came up with my design in Photoshop. Then I started looking for fabricators or tinkering guys who could satisfy my needs. Finally I found one tinkering guy called Mutthu who could do fabrication for me

I picked up a second hand avenger 220 and the real work started from last 3 months. Initially started work from fuel tank den rear n front fender den seat.

I had to design my rear fender 2 times. And Mr. Mutthu delivered the work to my expectation which I’m very thankful to him..

The last thing was to decide on the paint job which I preferred matte black for fuel tank, fenders, meter and front head light.. I named my bike as “13” since my birth date is 13. And this is a gift for my wife DJ Waluscha as she is also very passionate about bikes. Finally today my dream has come true..please find photos attached..bare with spellings mistakes ..thanks for posting it..Nikhil 🙂

dear this bike doesnt looks like a bobber. modification is ok, but u need to know
first that how bobber actually look like. there are some point are considered at the tym of building an bobber.the actual bobber dont have rear sus, as the rear wheel is directly mounted on rigid chassis. at the front springer front end is used with no front fender. only at the rear is used. the tank which u have tried lyk harley sportster which doesnt looks nice.

I have also Avanger and i also want to modifying like you can you give me some tips.
And i want a fule tank also so please tell me all about it
Give me your no. I will call you.. plese
Thanx…

Dude! Ignore the haters! I have an Avenger 180 that I have been wondering how to customise… I had almost given up but then I saw your ride… That is seriously cool!
I hear the guys about an old school seat, but it’s not their ass soaking up the miles! Matt black is totally sick! I’ll try post pics when I’m done…

Further more, u made a bachelors bike, who are you looking to attract, other men??
A woman is not going to sit on it, and neither is a saddle bag going to fit on it.

I modified my Bajaj Avenger with Leather bags, leather seat cover, a complete leather Tank Cover, and a leather cover for the speed gauge, it looks bad ass, and maintained the integrity of the crome. Next to my bike, other avengers look like teenagers.

When I ride, it sells sexy, your bike sells piss, costs too much on an already expensive bike. I paid a total of 2000 Rs extra, and every one wants to copy it and already has.

Dont modify bikes anymore. If your looking to rape the integrity of crome, then fuck off from the bikers club. Crome is one of the prime reasons, people chase after bikes…NOT BLACK you moron.

Hey sick dick crome fucker y don’t u shove ur corms in ur ass. You hv no right to talk abt this cool modification as u don’t know to respect…. this is the coolest modification i hv seen on the avenger bike and matte black is awesome.

if ur corme bike is so good y its not on the 350cc.com… i am sure its a piece of shit and ur boasting for it… post some pics asshole and lets see wt comments u get for ur crome modification… The bobber 13 is already appreciated by many..

Nikhil u have shocked me with the design. Man u did a splendid job. The bike talks about ur respect. HATS off…. I need the respected fabricator’ number. Can you please provide me with the same? I would like to meet him. Thank you… . And once again the Avenger is REBORN.
My number is 8421222311

I want to modify… actually transform a Thunderbird 350. Anyone who can do it please drop me an email. I’m from Muzaffarnagar. Modifiers from Delhi, Ghaziabad, Meerut, etc. are welcome. Email:- afrojacked@hotmail.com
